Hollywood actress Kim Cattrall has reportedly been approached to appear in a new Tetley Tea advertisement.

"We've approached Cattrall's agent about the possibility of lining her up to become the eighth member of the gang and featuring in a forthcoming advert with the tea folk," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a spokesperson from the firm as saying.

The "Sex and the City" actress who has previously appeared in advertisements for the British tea brand could become the eighth member of the cartoon gang used in the commercials.
